Teresa Piotti won a massive $200,000 cash prize this weekend at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort. The slots machine regular had no idea that every time she used her Trump One card she was being entered into a prize drawing for a $1 million slots dollar or cash option prize.
Piotti has played at the casino three days a week for the past twenty years and she has no idea how many entries she could have garnered in the month. She told reporters she was very nervous when casino employees walked up and asked her to come with them, without clarifying why they knew her or why they needed her and that she was just as relieved as she was excited when she won the big prize.
While Teresa Piotti remained pretty calm about the whole thing her husband, Dante Piotti, said he was "shaking like a leaf" when he heard his wife's name called.
"I can't believe it," he said, holding the larger-than-life check. "Nothing good ever happened to me. This is the first time."
Even as the couple was debriefed by casino security about how and why they would be escorted to their vehicle after collecting the money, he stood shocked and in disbelief.
"I can't still believe it," he said shaking his head.
Asked what they planned to do with the money, the two said they had been wanting to visit Las Vegas and Florida.
As always, stay tuned to Casinofan for more news and updates.
